Fertility Rate (total, births per woman) is:
“rate represents the number of children that would be born to a woman if she were to live to the end of her childbearing years and bear children in accordance with age-specific fertility rates of the specified year.”
(source of definition & data: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN)
The country with the highest fertility rate in 2019 is Niger. The fertility rate is 6.8.
The country with the lowest fertility rate in 2019 is Korea, Rep.. The fertility rate is 0.9.
This is the list of countries with the highest fertility rate (ordered by highest to lowest). Table shows fertility rate difference declining from 1960 to 2019.
| Country | Fertility Rate drop since 1960 to 2019 |
|---|---|
| Congo, Dem. Rep. | -0.2 births per woman |

The country of EU with the highest fertility rate in 2019 is France. The fertility rate is 1.9. The high fertility rate in France is the result of counting a combined result with dependent territories in the whole world (e.g. French Guiana).
The country of EU with the lowest fertility rate in 2019 is Malta. The fertility rate is 1.1.

There are many correlates of the fertility rate. One of them is the
age of the mother when she gives birth to her first child. Correlation
between fertility rate and mean age of woman at birth first child is
-0.4327386 The higher the age of birth of
the first child, the lower the fertility rate.
This chart shows fertility rate and mean age of woman at birth first child (in EU countries in 2019).
As we can see in Eastern European countries belonging to the EU, the fertility rate is higher and the age of women giving birth to the first child is lower than in other EU countries
One of the potential correlates of fertility rate and the age at
which women give birth to first child may be a greater prevalence of
contraception and therefore - more frequent use of it. Correlation
between fertility rate and prevalence of contraceptive methods is
0.1561051 (Source of data about prevalence
of contraceptive methods in EU countries: https://www.un.org/development/desa/pd/sites/www.un.org.development.desa.pd/files/files/documents/2020/Jan/un_2019_contraceptiveusebymethod_databooklet.pdf)
This correlation is really weak.
This interactive graph shows the distribution of the variables: the fertility rate, the average age of the first child’s birth, and the prevalence of contraception used (click dot on chart for more information).
Death Rate (crude, per 1000 people) indicates:
the number of deaths occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.
(data & definition source: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.CDRT.IN)
The country with the highest death rate in 2019 is Bulgaria. The death rate is 15.5.

Birth Rate (crude, per 1000 people) is:
Crude birth rate indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the rate of population change in the absence of migration.
